Message: [QUOTE="Jo Vermeulen, post: 3663768"] Hello, I'm experiencing some trouble with the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). It contains only assemblies of the .NET 1.0 framework (version 1.0.5000.0) although I installed the .NET framework 1.1. I used gacutil.exe /i to manually load the 1.1 assemblies in the GAC, but that does not seem to work. The assemblies are not loaded into the GAC, although the output of gacutil.exe /i tells me so. When I view all assemblies using gacutil.exe /l, I only see the 1.0 ones. Same thing if I look into "C:\WINNT\assembly\". I want to load the 1.1 assemblies in the GAC because I am experiencing trouble with dynamic loading of assemblies. For instance, I load the System.Windows.Forms.dll using information from the System.Environment class. Apparantly this says I am using the .NET framework 1.1, so I dynamically load version 1.1.4322. I also had to add references to System.Windows.Forms, System.Drawing etc. to get the code to compile. When I run it, Visual Studio starts loading the 1.0.5000.0 versions out of the GAC. This gives me extremely weird behaviour such as receiving an InvalidCastException on this code (it's in C#): Button swfObject = (Button)(Activator.CreateInstance(classType)); Where "classType" is a System.Windows.Forms.Button Type instance! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, [/QUOTE]
